We had a little bit of trouble finding the place but no big deal. BF had the Pho Special which he enjoyed. I had a small wonton soup, the broth was delicious. Also ordered the chicken lo mein and loved that it had the authentic chargrilled taste that I love. I added a bit of sweet and sour to it and it was perfect!UPDATE: They took the Wonton Soup off the menu, saying "it wasnt very popular". Thats the main reason we got there. BUMMER ??

I will admit that this is an above-average place which I'm not used to for this level of cuisine. Which means that I was not educated enough to accurately process the menu. But the food was really good and the service was above was really good and friendly.

Soups, rice and noodles dishes are very tasty. I’ve sampled most and have not been disappointed. Spring rolls are fresh and delicious.

I used to absolutely love this place, but it's been a while since I have been there, and this visit was awful. Ordered generals chicken, and they used like banquet chicken nuggets, the texture was disgusting. Now the egg rolls were still as amazing as they always have been. I really hope that the awful main dish that I got is only a temporary problem, maybe covid related. Because I have loved this place for a long time, and this is not the food I remember

Had pot stickers and pad Thai. It was amazing. Good portions, I left stuffed. Price was ok but food was worth it.

This place is very busy during lunch. I would recommend calling ahead for your take out order. Food was delicious ?

I am so disappointed as I used to mice this place. I came in today, first time since pandemic began. I arrived at 12:03. There were three other tables sat, a total of 11 people in all (myself included.). I offered at 12:08. At 12:39 my food came and it was not correct at all. I was told they’ll make again and it dill be at least 20 minutes because of to go orders. I said no, I have a 1 pm appointment. He then said to me that I can take the order to go but I must pay first. I said no. Cancel my order. He said my choices were to pay and take the food to go or leave and don’t come back. Well…looks like I won’t be going back to Rolling Wok ever again.

I came in that place and I had the pho special Absolutely delicious and I had their pot stickers and I in my opinion that the best pot sticker in the city And the place was clean it had cheerful people in there everyone was having a good time I recommend it for everyone

Great authentic Asian cuisine. I got the papaya combo with chicken wing’s the papaya was on point! Would recommend.

Worst Chinese food ever. Ordered carry out tonight, sesame chicken. Tasted like dirty socks. Had to toss after one bite. Would never recommend
